Who wrote the actual bill? That would be a bunch of Democrat elected politicians working with lawyers who make the legislation incomprehensible to nearly everyone. As you pointed out, even Nancy Pelosi, one of the chief architects couldn't tell you what was in the bill on national TV. President Reagan knew all too well what happens when too much government gets involved in just about anything. He once said he would have liked to see what the Ten Commandments would look like had God run it through Congress first. You can bet the farm it would not look like anything we recognize today.

My main problems with all of this are two-fold:

1. The Democrats violated the Constitution, their oaths of office and their own established rules to cram this down our throats by deeming it passed in the Senate. I won't go into the voting fraud which gave the DEMs a 60 seat majority here, but just by mentioning it, it adds to the fact it doesn't pass the smell test.

2. As most typical of Washington pols, the legislation empowers government, not the people to make the best decisions for themselves and their families. There was so much that could have been done to reduce the costs and access to affordable health care through established market means, but then again, that would have empowered the individual and not Uncle Sam. The socialists in Congress would not hear of it and the fix was in. Poll after poll shows ObamaCare, in its current form, is as popular as fiberglass underwear with the public and many unions who supported this monstrosity. Unless something is done quickly, America will have to get ready to grab her ankles.

If I complain about something and don't offer some solution, it makes my position basically worthless. Here are some things that could have been done to drop the cost of health care:

1. Open competition across state lines;
2. Advertise procedures and treatments;
3. Allow chambers of commerce to offer group rates to small business;
4. Make premiums tax deductible;
5. Tort reform;
6. Increase access to Health Savings Accounts (HSA);
7. Reduce the required amount of record keeping (about 1/3 the cost of health care);
8. Make health insurance subject to the anti-trust laws (only the NFL and health insurance are exempt!);
9. No free health care for illegals;
10. Create a policy for the working poor based on their income. To be eligible for a subsidized policy, you must be a) American b) Working (no illegals or freeloaders). This would provide private health care, give incentives to work and provides mobility from employer to employer.

These are in no way the only ideas which would drive down costs and improve access, but it would be a good start. I am certain there are many other creative people who could come up with more ideas which would work to keep the government bureaucracy from being the public's primary care physician whose bedside manner would be that of the IRS.
